    Fortnite is a good game and definitely does deserve some credit for its all round performance. The game has good cartoon graphics that are enjoyable to see and fun to look at when you are playing the game.

    the gameplay is very good and i love how there are different types of guns and i really like the building mechanics that definitely make it different and unique to things like Player Unknown Battlegrounds and The Culling.
    i really do like this game altogether but i do agree that there are flaws that need to be sorted, i have a good feeling that when the game is patched up it will be very fun to play and ratings will definitely go up.    … Expand

    Not going to waste a bunch of time writing a long review. Simply put, Fortnite is fun for the first few hours, then becomes stale. The game starts to feel repetitive after a while, and you end up feeling like there's not much more to do other than what's already been done. There's a great basis for an amazing game, I just feel like the execution isn't there.

    I'm having a great time with this game. Just to be straight forward it is a bit of a nitch game, if your not a fan of tower building / defense or RNG Loot games you might not like it.

    The controls are good, and the game feels good to play and shoot. There are a lot of parts to this game and the base UI is sometimes easy to get lost in. I love the drop in game mechanic, finding a group of 4 people is super easy as it will automatically find players,

    The game starts off super easy, almost making it seem as the classes / communication are irrelevant, but I have dropped into higher level games and seen a preview of the difficulty curve. Definitely need more coordination and planning as you get past level 19 zones.

    There are several different game types / objectives. some feel very similar to each other. from watching the youtube I know there are a few more interesting game types and enemies I haven't encountered yet.

    Update 8/9:
    So Basically at this time, the game is fun, but really there is not much incentive to go beyond level 30. Resource / Backpack management is pretty bad and the loot too too expensive / time consuming to get. If Epic doesn't fix the "pay to progress" its gonna kill this game.

    I still play the level 20ish games because its fun if you ignore trying to progress.

    I'll update my review later when I have seen more of the game.    … Expand

    First, I love parts of this game. There are elements that work very well and are quite fun. I am still actively playing and will continue to do so.

However, that being said, I cannot recommend this game for the average gamer at this time. The game is far more incomplete than implied by the slick marketing campaign that was released prior to the NDA being lifted. At least 50% of the map content is incomplete. Weapon balancing, hero balancing, and trap balancing is incomplete. Server and network code is very buggy. There are systems in place to punish progression like capping weapon level to hero level and defenders double dipping xp/resources. This game has the potential to be great, it is just not there right now. If you want to be part of testing then buy the game, if you want something that is polished and completely enjoyable stay clear.… Expand

    I bought the deluxe founders pack and opened around 150 llamas so far. Not one Single legendary hero and/or weapon. This is redicilous.

    If they implement drop rates with the husks, then this game can get a good one. But like this is is Really up to you,, to spend Hundes of Dollars to get forward. It is really a pure pay2win (-progress) title.

    This is a grinding game to the fullest. With that said, it is fun to play especially with friends. I have found it to be just as challenging to play with friends and what you think is enough traps to hold back the horde. You do have to spend time harvesting material you need to build traps and weapons, but that's the fun in it to me. I don't want a game where it is easy to do everything.

Biggest thing I can say enough is time, you need to spend time on this game. If you want a quick and easy defense game to play, this is probably not for you. You do not have to spend money better your player either. It is luck of the draw with the Llamas. Give this game a few hours before you decide if its good or not.… Expand

    I can't recommend this game and the behavior of the developers is forcing me to write my first review. I used the feedback button many times, I adressed directly on twitter, I wrote on Facebook and I wrote an email to the supporters. But they just don't care. All they want to hear are positive news about their game. There is no will in improving or making better.

    I bought the Founders Edition deluxe, with a copy for my daughter. So I spent 90 € on this game. And first, especially if you see videos everything is so exciting and new. The gameplay is smooth, the characters are fine, the loot is overwhelming (at first).

    But if you are into the game for a few hours, you recognize it is a big cash maschine. The only way to loot and lvl your gear up is through llamas. And the normal llamas, as well as the rare llamas are containing a lot of trash.

    I opened, thanks to the Founders deluxe editions hundres of llamas. So far not one single legendary character or weapon. Just normal stuff.

    The biggest problem of this game is, that there is no sense in doing all that. The zombies don't drop loot. The treasures in the world are only for the next games, no chance to find any schematics. You do the same over and over again for nothing. This game is, with this state of play, a total waste of time and money.

    They just want, you put more and more money into that game for a really boring early access. I played hundreds of games in my life. But this game so far is the first game I regret spending money on.

    The behavior and the goals of the developers are really something you should be aware of!    … Expand

    So much fun, more going on under the hood than just zombie grinding.

Tons of stuff to collect, tons of stuff to set up, characters to upgrade, etc, etc. I bought this game on day one after seeing the trailer, thinking it was just about grinding zombie kills and building stuff. I was surprised to when I saw the talent trees and what all could be unlocked. I just discovered as you level up you can set up your other heroes to go out on their own to gather resources and more survivors. The amount of heroes to use and unlock is pretty cool, all setup on 4 skill sets, constructor, ninja, outlander and warrior. Each group has their own base skills but different heroes also get different skills as they level up. I have a constructor named Hype who has a "decoy bot" she throws out that draws the zombies to one spot which is different from the Penny constructor who has a "Bull Rush". Then you set up support survivors that give you better stats to do what you do when in field. Along with fortifying your base and upgrading it every few missions. There is a lot to unlock after you finish the tutorial and i'm still in the first act.

    The characters and enemies are very stylized but in a good way. The mechanics is easy to pick up but takes a while to master. So lots to see and do here going forward. I see a lot of replay value for myself. I also enjoy playing it with friends and family. (seems pretty kid safe too, no blood and guts, like other zombie games)

    The only downside i see is Epic pushing their coin on the cash shop (and only reason I gave it a 9 out of 10), but hey, everyone's gotta make a buck right?    … Expand

    Game does not encourage co-op play. Tons of grinding. Boring core game loop that's heavily gated by F2P and SLOW mission progression. Prepare to be standing in front of a wall and holding down RT the majority of your time. DO NOT PURCHASE!

All the mission will be defending a curtain point in the game through the level. But the building makes it unique since you the player can make awesome forts to defend of the zombies.
    In game purchases ruins the moral of this game. When first witnessing the loot, it heavily shows the coins to spend to get loot. You can either grind missions for these coins or daily goals, but you can also spend hundreds of dollars for instant coins to get better loot. To get new weapons, characters, survivors, and also traps come through the loot from these crates.
    Crafting is confusing and will make more sense on PC. But it doesn't have good directions on how to repair items or craft them. The tutorial doesn't teach you that.
    Leveling is confusing even with the descriptions that don't real change or have a big impact on the overall game play.
    It's disappointing that now games have these insane in game purchases to change the overall impact that makes a good game. I don't see any overall replay ability when other games come out and leave this game in the dust. This is my opinion so no hard feelings.    … Expand

    Fun for a little while
    Fortnite is an online 4 player co-op tower defense game all about collect materials and building bases… I was a huge fan of this game during my first 5 hours with it here you choose a hero out of a possible 4 different classes, all with their own bonuses and special cool down attack and weapons are shared by all… you start your mission of finding the    Fortnite

    I was a huge fan of this game during my first 5 hours with it
    here you choose a hero out of a possible 4 different classes, all with their own bonuses and special cool down attack and weapons are shared by all… you start your mission of finding the objective spot on the map, collecting materials with your pick axe.. using those materials to build a base and traps… and starting when you feel you’re read to defend
    and you can defend just using your base and relying on the material of your walls to hold up or you can hop right in and melee or shoot these zombies trying to destroy the item you’re protecting…
    this tower defending is thrilling at first…
    it’s fun to explore collect and craft new weapons…
    getting better chests based on you and your teams performance
    inside of these chests are xp chips, items, skill points, and llamas…
    llamas are also loot items that you break open for survivors, heroes, weapon schematics, and xp chips as well…
    these chips go into leveling your favorite heroes and survivors up that you assign to your squads and bases for support, as well as leveling up weapon schematics…
    you can also earn xp by retiring duplicates or weaker heroes and survivors as well as recycling unneeded weapons…
    and skill points obviously go into a skill tree…
    it’s fun getting all of this loot at first and the game gives it to you at a very generous pace.. Keeping the initial few hours with this game addictive...
    sadly the gameplay itself isn’t interesting enough to keep this great loot system intriguing for long…
    it’s the same thing over and over and over..
    the developers couldn’t even be bothered with giving you a change of scenery
    you’re either back at your base, in some random woods, or town that all look and play exactly the same…
    some just have more materials for bullets than others…
    it’s just the same repetitive boring grind of collect build defend as the game slowly introduces new enemies to you
    the game never makes you think of your surrounding or change your strategy…
    its repetitive…
    I made it half way through the game and this is when the game starts forcing you to replay missions multiple times to move forward and I just couldn’t do it anymore..
    It’s a shame because I did love my first initial hours with this game...
    it just doesn’t do enough to stay fun…
    it makes you impatient and starts to feel as though its matches drag on forever…
    while you won’t hate your time with fortine..
    As again I loved my first few hours
    I’d be surprised if it keeps you entertained longer than a weekend…

    It may not be the first battle royale game, and it certainly won’t be the last, but Fortnite sets itself apart from the crowd by giving you the freedom and tools to express your own personal playstyle.

    If you have friends to play with and want to devote a good chunk of time into it, Fortnite can showcase a lot of entertaining times with some great teamwork and cooperative builds. As it stands right now though, I think gamers should wait a little while and see what gets added, changed and tweaked. Maybe by then there will be some more variety added to spruce up the tired repetitive gameplay and it will be more of a game that will make a more positive impression on those who play it.
